No one expects the Vortex of Chaos. It's ice on the sidewalk three days before Christmas, the driver who knocks the door off your SUV, the surgery that dims your voice, the cancer treatments that leave your brain muddled for months. But like the accretion ring surrounding a black hole, the Vortex of Chaos is also the neon sign that says you're still in business, that you haven't given up, that you're not willing to take it lying down.
Chaos is Life.

Purple is not Blue

I have been working on the May Rockin' Sock Club socks.

Blue Moon will make this yarn and pattern available some times next year. They've just put up Firebird and Monsoon from last year (along with some other new colors)

The diagonal bands do a great job of breaking up the stripes, don't you think? Only I've had a hard time getting the left-slanting bands tight enough.

The odd thing is that my camera refuses to accept that this yarn is purple.

By upping the red in the color balance I was able to get something closer to the actual colors, but look what that does to the green towel!

Oh well. Do you think it's just a Nikon digital camera thing? Or is it The Color Purple?
